Weeks 31-36

Mom has been working long hours so the blog has not been updated for a while. However, in these six weeks some big milestones have happened. Sofia has started crawling and is getting into trouble all over the place. We have had to immediately baby proof the house as we have noticed leaves on plants missing, frames on the floor and even an ipod headset broken in half from her six teeth. She also finds ways to pull herself up on anything she can right now. Sofia was lucky enough to have her friend Jack spend the night and go to Fleet Week to watch the Blue Angles. The two of them seemed to have lots of fun together and tasted sand for the first time. Sofia also made her second trip to Mexico to visit her Aunt and Uncle. It was an exciting trip as Dad took her to tacos and she even got her first haircut.

Week 28, 29 & 30

Sofia seems to have mastered crawling backwards but just can't figure out how to go forward. Mom has started a new job that has required travel in the last few weeks but Sofia has done quite well with her Dad going on daily walk in the city and reading books in Spanish:)) Her favorite activity is by far swimming and she even had a chance to go a few times when she attended her first wedding in Yakima. Sofia looks forward to visiting baby Caroline and can hardly wait to play with her.

Week 25, 26 & 27

Sofia can now sit up by herself and is quite proud of it. She has been introduced to the world of fruits and vegetables and can't seem to get enough of it. Her favorites are pear, banana and peas but like her mom is not too fond of the carrots. Sofia has also begun to crawl backwards so we know that she will learn to go forward VERY soon.

The biggest news is that after countless hours waiting in the Mexican Consulate, Sofia is officially a Mexican citizen. By the time they needed her thumb print, she was fast asleep.

Week 22, 23 & 24

Sofia has found that it is much more fun to sit up rather than be on her back. However, her favorite activity is to try to stand right now with a little extra help:)) Sofia likes to make sure Mom and Dad are around at all times and gets a little fussy if she can't find them. She loves to hang out with her mellow boyfriend Jack and Mom and Dad hope that some of the mellowness rubs off on Sofia! Her new favorite activity is swimming where she could spend hours splashing in the pool.

Week 19, 20 & 21

Sofia had a great three weeks with her Aunt Anabel taking great care of her. She also spent her first 4th of July in Tahoe watching the fireworks over the lake. Sofia can now roll over from her tummy to her back and sit up by herself. We think she will be crawling in no time:)) She also is finally starting to enjoy baths!

Week 17 & 18

Shan returned to work and Sofia is adapting quite well to Astor's family caring for her. She still LOVES her milk and has made her way into the 95% in weight. One of Sofia's favorite activities is kicking and we are worried she is going to take after her Grandma Susan and run everywhere rather than walk.

Week 13, 14 & 15

A heatwave struck San Francisco and Sofia was just not use to the heat as she has already adapted to the cool San Fran weather. However, she got to attend her first Giant's game which kept her mind slightly off the heat. Mother's Day was really "Sofia's Day" as she got to dress up in her the dress her mom wore as a baby and play with a shiny new rattle.
